Installing ActiveSync Software
To install ActiveSync on your desktop computer, follow the installation instructions on the
ActiveSync CD. During installation you can set up the types of information (e.g., files,
E-mail, databases) to synchronize as well as the Sync Mode (Continuously while the iPAQ
is connected, Only upon connection, or Manually).
Verifying an ActiveSync Connection
When a proper ActiveSync connection has taken place between the iPAQ and the desktop
computer, the ActiveSync icon on the desktop computer turns green.
Performing a Remote ActiveSync
You can also synchronize your iPAQ remotely using a WLAN connection. Refer to Using
ActiveSync over Spectrum24 on page 4-25 for information about setting up an ActiveSync
connection via a WLAN.
Performing Subsequent ActiveSync Operations
After you set up ActiveSync for the first time, subsequent ActiveSync operations only
require a connection between your iPAQ and your desktop computer. To connect, place
your iPAQ in a cradle that is connected to your desktop, connect the synchronization cable
directly from your iPAQ to the desktop, or connect via a Wireless Local Area Network
(WLAN).
A WLAN connect will require additional set up (see Using ActiveSync over Spectrum24 on
page 4-25).
